In a chilling incident on the night of September 11, 2025, multiple gunshots were fired outside the residence of Bollywood actress Disha Patani in Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh. The attack, which occurred around 4:30 a.m. in the Civil Lines area, has raised serious concerns about the safety of public figures and the influence of organized crime in the region.
According to reports, two unidentified assailants on a motorcycle fired approximately seven rounds at the property. The residence, Villa No. 40, is owned by Disha Patani’s father, retired Deputy Superintendent of Police Jagdish Singh Patani. At the time of the incident, Disha’s father, mother, and elder sister, Khushboo Patani, were present inside the house. Fortunately, no injuries were reported, but the incident has left the family shaken.
A social media post surfaced shortly after the shooting, claiming responsibility for the attack. The post, attributed to gangsters Goldy Brar and Rohit Godara, alleged that the shooting was a retaliation for comments made by Khushboo Patani about Hindu spiritual leaders Premanand Maharaj and Aniruddhacharya Maharaj. The message stated, “The insult of our deities will not be tolerated. This was just a trailer.” The gangsters warned of further action if such disrespect continued.
The local police have initiated an investigation into the incident. Senior Superintendent of Police Anurag Arya confirmed that forensic teams have collected evidence from the scene, including spent cartridges. CCTV footage is being reviewed, and an alert has been issued regarding the Goldy Brar network. Authorities are treating the incident with utmost seriousness due to the involvement of organized crime syndicates.
The attack has sparked widespread outrage and concern among the public and public figures alike. Many have expressed their shock over the audacity of the act and the apparent ease with which criminal elements are operating in the region. The incident has also highlighted the growing influence of social media in inciting real-world violence, as the alleged motive was based on online content.
The shooting outside Disha Patani’s Bareilly residence underscores the escalating threats faced by public figures and the challenges law enforcement agencies face in combating organized crime. As investigations continue, authorities are under pressure to ensure the safety of citizens and to curb the influence of criminal syndicates operating in the region. The incident serves as a stark reminder of the potential consequences of online content and the need for responsible discourse in the digital age.
